Actually, it's spelled "Shupp".  : )  And also, the toaster currently 
uses 5.3.6, not 5.3.7.

Is this true? Or will maildrop (or spamc) work without this patch.
Secondly, what does the patch do?
 As Marcus pointed out, you need 5.3.7, or apply the seekable patch 
manually.  It makes the input seekable if it's not already.

Lastly, for Bill - any idea when the toaster will be upgraded to 
include
Vpopmail 5.3.8 which has the patch?
Well, this question really belongs on the toaster list.  But it's about 
halfway done.  I keep getting distracted by work that actually _pays_ 
me.  ;)

Cheers,

Bill

Version 5.3.7 and upwards include the seekable patch - its enabled by
default and you can disable it using the --enable-seekable=n configure
option.

The patch makes sure anything piped to vdelivermail is seekable (ie
you can rewind the stream using lseek). If it isnt, it creates a temp
file from the incoming stream and uses that as the input (which is
then "seekable").
